From Vic's thread it looks like we landyachters have more than just landyachts in common. Seems we also like to have plenty of other toys as well, so lets see them!! 
Since your a mate,I show you one. warning ,this bike should only be ridden with a small child on the back as pillion passenger. riding it alone makes you look a bit daft.
Paul, in the future your kids will look at the family album with such fond memories of their childhood..... 
Trouble is Giz, they have to survive their childhoods first - with some of Pauls *inventions* it has been a close thing
Everytime I go away they get up to some mischief or other. One time they made a working scale model of a treboche and launched the kids barbie dolls down the length of the street! If that was not enough they all made costumes and dressed up in medievel clothing.
It can be a scary thing on the other end of the phone when your child says guess what we did today mum...
Haha! That looks great Paul. It make my latest bike look boring in comparison, but what the hell here it is anyway 
round here something that beautiful is a calthrop( double gee) magnet..
I picked up a nice bike today from a rubbish bin . full suspension,CrMo forks and rear, tires good and pumped up. nly needed a new deraileur .
the sweetest bit was that I saw it in the bin when I visited Crazy TRavs place in Kambalda, but he wasnt home and didnt see the bike i the bin for himself sorry cousin Trav , first in ,best dressed
hence the hardhats ,kids
I have a yearning for a trike!! or a 4wd beach vehicle someone can come and get me from the botton of Sandy Point!!
Wow, nice looking bikes Arjay!! I can see why you've got both, I couldn't choose between them either!
oh they are not my bikes!! Closest thing I own to a motorcycle is a new motorcycle helmet, for coming off the blokart at 80+ kph, even on sand!!!
Ummm cracked the last helmet, old Blokart one and on the walk home I lost it, probably for the best!

No. It is the Bundy Bombers Blokart Recovery Vehicle.
Not a bad little toy for the money. I was considering building a "Dirt Devil",
see www.diyden.net but when I started pricing components and assessing the time factors and likely problems with building, I had to stop to ask myself a question.
Where do I want to spend most of my time, in the workshop or on the beach? You know what the answer was.
Cheers Cisco
Other wind toys:
This is a photo we call Mr.Pain. It is my younger boy Ryan on our Peter Lynn kite buggy.

Baja California ready 1994 DR 650 Suzuki dual sport. 6.6 gal. tank, dual Hella 500's and customized progressive rear shock link to lower the seat height since I have the legs of a short Hobbit.
Nice Bike! I was hoping we'd see some more petrol powered toys, here's mine
5ltr VK SS Brock Commodore
heres a little dinghy the kids and I built. 31'6" x5' folding gaff schooner, designed by Phil Bolger
lol looks good Cisco!! No thats not when I bent the fork. It was the day I hit 83kph top speed, on a dead true wind run, still had about 18-24 inches sheet between the pulley whip and boom end, with a 2m sail drawing beautifully. Imagine if the wind had've been a bit further round??? All I do is wonder! Can't remember what the wind speed was but it was Blowin!!!!
For those into other Toys, there is a book called Big Boys Toys that is getting lauched in Nov. (I have no financial interest in this book). I have only seen a couple of draft pages. Paul with Vindicator (built by the fabulous Faze 5) is one of the boys featured with his toys
So hopefully later this year lots of people will see this and also want a big landyacht for their toy?
